Rabbi Sara Shendelman's Experience
Director and Founder
Jewish Arts, Culture, and Torah School
September 1991 – Present (20 years 6 months)
JACTS is a spiritually based Jewish supplemental school, afternoons or Sundays. We run a brilliant Bar & Bat Mitzah program, about which has been said, "If I had seen this kind of a Bar Mitzvah before, I would have given my child a Jewish education." We connect in such a strong way that we are able to see the children for only an hour a week, yet educate them and form such a strong bond that they always feel the strength and love of the community as a foundation to stand on. The ceremonies are joyous, heartfelt and brilliant. We are told that we have helped our students define who they wanted to be in the world and made a tremendously positive impact on their lives.
